Default WTB C6 2006-2008 Convertible

Looking for a real nice 06-09 Convertible with auto trans. No accidents, non smoker, stock, zero to minimal mods, well maintained with records. Most colors considered except black. Prefer something somewhat local to me in Florida. Serious cash buyer. Let me know what you have. Thanks

I'm guessing not having automatic tranny might be a deal-breaker, but here's my 2006 vert just in case: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...21k-miles.html

Sadly, Yes. Shoulder replacement makes a difference...You have a nice car and I do thank you for the info. I'll pass it along if I hear of anyone looking.

Here is my 2008 red automatic C6 with 10,000 miles. It is not a convertible, but the roof does come off. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, and are interested, you can PM me:

Where are you in Florida? I have driven this one and would have bought it except that I don't want Z51:
http://www.sunsetgm.com/VehicleDetai...-FL/3261617453
Sunset always prices their cars high, so there should be plenty of room in this price. A similar 2007 with MSRC and fewer miles, without Z51, was listed at $24,995 at Lexus in Bonita Springs for quite a while. It sold last week.

This one caught my eye a couple of days ago, I contacted the dealer online on Saturday and haven't heard back. The Carfax looks impressive.

I'm not crazy about either color. I am in Venice. I know what you mean about them pricing on the high side, and they are not willing to negotiate very much. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Hello , I have an '06 convertible Callaway Supernatural 490 ( heads,cam,and exhaust package) .Lemans Blue with grey interior and grey top . Auto with paddles .31 000 miles .magnetic ride .Navigartion . Ipod connection installed aftermarket works great Copy of window sticker . Car is originally from Georgia (I have his info) and I had the Callaway conversion done in Connecticut before I brought it over to Montreal Canada.I have all original parts too. Seen rain 4 times since 2006 , always parked in a garage.Fairly new (second summer) runflats all around , they are not cheap .It comes with color matched material bra with covers on mirrors...I've changed one rear drivers side bearing and 2 batteries so far besides regular maintenance .I've been to the 1/4 mile track once (have slips) . This corvette is perfect , not too loud but the extra 90 horsepower makes a nice difference .Let me know if you need pics as I am having trouble uploading them .It would be easier through E-mail ...vlancellotta@videotron.ca

I think that you will soon see dealers in Florida adding to their inventories to prepare for the season, and dealers in northern states either reducing prices or sending convertibles to auction before winter. That is what I observed last year at this time.

What are your preferences for color, options, price range, etc? There is a small dealer in Sarasota called The Car Seekers. He might be able to help you find what you want. https://thecarseekers.com/

Auto Nation in Orlando has this one. I don't know why they haven't posted photos yet. It has MSRC, nav and a power top.

Surprisingly, it isn't easy at the moment in Florida. I am looking for exactly the same thing. I may have found one from a private seller, but his price isn't realistic. I am finding that usually is the case with private sellers. Let me know if you find anything that you reject for whatever reason, and I will do the same for you.

Certainly will. I agree with the pricing and the dealers are just as crazy with pricing and that's before they add the outrageous 4 figure useless DOC fee.

I am getting a little frustrated with my search. There are plenty of unsold C6 convertibles on dealer lots in Florida, and none of them meet my requirements. I suspect that jnx713 agrees with me.

Yes, I totally agree. Didn't think it would be so difficult. I'm guessing the last one we spoke about didn't work out for you?

I am letting him sit on his car for a while. In my opinion, he is a fool. I am watching C6 convertible prices getting softer, and I am not going to pay a premium for a car that needs work. I have my eye on two other cars at dealers that don't meet my requirements 100 percent, and they're not getting snapped up by other buyers. I can wait for the right one.

I will say that I wish that I had bought the yellow 2007 at the Lexus dealer in Bonita Springs. I just couldn't get down there to do the deal.
